surface facing up to receive the spike point.

These speakers are bookshelf-type speakers. They will provide best

performance when placed on a solid level surface away from the

floor. If placed directly on the floor, reverberation will be amplified,

producing a boomy, undefined sound. Ideally, the high-range

speakers (tweeters) should be placed at a height roughly the same

level as the listener’s ears. We recommend using the CP-4EX

speaker stand for optimum sound and stability. When using the

CP-4EX speaker stand, be sure to secure the speaker to the stand

with the provided screws to prevent the speaker from falling.

Installing the spikes

This speaker is provided with spikes and spike bases that should

be used to produce optimum sound quality.

Installation

2 Twist the spikes into the threaded metal inserts (M6)

unit on a soft area (such as a blanket) so that it does not

damage the floor, and carry out the installation with at least

two people.

When not using the spikes

To assure stable installation, affix the non-skid pads to the bottom

surface of each speaker.

3 Set the spike bases in the positions where the points of

the spikes will strike when the speaker is set down.

Place enough spike bases to match the number of spikes used.

4 Rotate the spikes to adjust their height, then rotate the

spike nuts counterclockwise to fix the spikes at the adjusted

height.

5 Set the speaker on the spike bases and adjust to be sure

the speaker is level and does not rock.

6 When mounting the spikes in three locations only.

a) Rotate the auxiliary feet to adjust their height.

Adjust the height so that about 1 mm to 2 mm of space

remains open between the feet and the installation surface.

b) Rotate the spike nuts counterclockwise to fix the

auxiliary feet at their adjusted height.
